I realize I'm that kid in the beginners class that is way older than anyone else

My friends all have kids. The latest social media apps take far too long for me to figure out. Favorite songs from college are popping up on "vintage" radio stations. Still, I'm still routinely up till 2am drinking my 2nd, or maybe 3rd, glass of wine tripping around the internet and debating if 10am is too early to be at the gym.

God I love my life, but at 40 I suddenly realize I'm the odd woman out. My social life revolves between nights of binge drinking cheap alcohol with friends in their 20s, and fine dining dinners planned weeks in advance with my age concurrent friends who are constantly checking their phones for babysitter updates and dozing off in their organic apple salad at 9pm.

How did I get here? Where exactly is here?? What is my next move???
